RailsConf 2022 Schedule 🗓️

Have you wished to have the RailsConf schedule in your own calendar app? Well, now you can! Subscribe to the https://railsconf.garytou.com/calendar.ics ICS link in your favorite calendar app such as Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, etc.

This node.js app (really should be Rails 🙄) web scrapes^† the RailsConf schedule from their website and formats it as an iCal (ics) file!

📎 How to use

/calendar.ics	iCal (ics) file of events (for subscription in calendar apps)
/events	JSON endpoint of events

🏗️ Development

git clone https://github.com/garyhtou/railsconf-2022-schedule

# enter the directory
cd railsconf-2022-schedule

# install dependencies
yarn

# run the server
yarn dev

# Open https://localhost:3000 in your browser

# the server will refresh on any saved changes

---

†: Now that the conference has concluded, the endpoints respond with a cached version of the ICS calendar and JSON data. These versions were cached on Monday, June 13th, 2022 at 1:00 AM, Pacific Time and are located in the /public directory.

The existing web scraping code is still functional at the time of writing this, but will more than likely break when RailsConf updates its website!
